A LADY CORRESPONDENT TELLs
HOW TO. CARE FOR THE HAIR.

woman-To Break Up Baby's Cold.

Stray Bits of Information.
e, a woman whose hair reaches to her waist,
thick as ones wrist when braided, needs no
artificial ornaments to adorn her head, and
abundant hair needs less care 70 arrange than
scanty crop. All Tomen can possess such
hair if they give the proper care. 1t is not
best n ,.eep the hair closely cut; after seven
years it need not be touched by the scissors
except to clip the forked ends once every
month Constant brushing is the secret of
luxuriant shining tresses, as it strengthens
the hair and brings out its natural ulster, and,
by brushing the uglest red hair can be
changed to warm golden tint. Use hard
brush; do not pass it lightly over the hair, but
with firm, steady strokes brush until the
scalp CLOVIS. If just before retiring you
loosen your hair and brush it this way you
will find you can sleep much better. Braid
it In two loose plaits, or, if very short, leave
1t unbound as the hair should always be well
aired and need not be bound unnecessarily.
Do mot use pomades, dyes or preparations of
any kind, and above all things don't wear
night caps; covering the head with cap is
almost as bad as putting a clothes pin on the
nose at night to keep out the cold. Many
ladies have the mistaken idea that the head
and face should be closely covered when walk

that the sun changes the color of their hair to
a more agreeable shade.

ing the hair in cold sage tea promotes the
growth and prevents falling out; burdock
root tea is also good. Washing the hair with
soap renders it coarse and brittle and splits
the ends; instead Of which take the yelk of
an egg, beat slightly with the hand, adding a
few very few drops of water and rub well
into the roots This cleans the scalp and makes
the hair soft and silky. Allow about two
minutes to get nearly dry, then rinse the
head well in tepid water, into which pour a
few drops of ammonia ammonia is the most
healthful stimulus known for the hair and
quickens its growth when nothing else will
do sol. After washing wipe and rub the hair
dry with towel; brush and part carefully
with the fingers and dry in the sun, or, in
winter, dry by the fire. Never go into the
open air until the hair is thoroughly dry.
Shampooing the hair every morning in cold
water and then brushing until the scalp
CLOVIS is good for the hair when it is short
and will not grow. Crimping pins do not IN

The typewriter is creating revolution in
methods of correspondence, and filling the
country with active, competent young ladies
who are establishing a distinct profession,
and bringing into our business Offices law
yers' Offices, editorial sanctums, etc, an ele-
ment of decelicy, purity and method which
is working perceptible change. The field is
widening daily; not from crowding out of
their places Young men who have been in
the habit of claiming presumption for cleri-
cal work of all descriptions, but in creating
absolutely new positions The revolution, if
it may be called so, has come from the dis
covery to business men of an ability of
which they were unaware until the great
convenience and excellent work of the type
writer forced them to it.
The art of dictation is almost new art,
but it is spreading rapidly, and business men
are beginning 70 understand that much of
their lives has been wasted in the mere me
chanical drudgery of letter writing, and that
through employing competent amanuensis
they are now enabled 10 get off their CORE
spondence with the least possible friction and
the smallest amount of time. Whereas, five
years ago, the typewriter was simply me-
ehanical curiosity, today its monotonous
click can be heard in almost every well regu-
lated business establishment in the country.
A great revolution is taking place, and the
typewriter is at the bottom of it.-Penman's

Experfeffce Under Ether.

Every one who has inhaled ether feels that
he has passed through remarkable expe-
rience, whether of a disagreeable nature or
the reverse Sometimes the vapor carries
with it the most delightful sensation, and
again is only productive of the horrible.
When a patient is going off" or returning
to consciousness, he often INDUCES in absurd
remarks.
at" re,s-my blue bonnet said lady,
opening her eyes after some time spent in
dentists chair, $50 l can't be dead; that

heaven
Another, a sober matron, was so delighted
on returning to consciousness, at seeing the
kindly face of her physician bending over
her, after she had been floating off into space,
that she exclaimed excitedly, 20, doctor,
love you'll"
YES, yes, know it," he replied, sooth-
ingly, and she has since declared that she was
so angry with him for under estimating the
importance of her statements that she kept
on wildly insisting, But you don't under
stand; adore you"
One young girl compelled to go through a
| painful Surgical operation, began laughing
immoderately as soon as the ether affected
| her. After her recovery, she was asked to
recall the cause of her mirth, and in doing so
| she laughed as heartily again.

Won saoltke's Economy.

Among the stories which are anus
ing the Parisians just now is one told
of the frugality of the famous German
General, Won Moltke. The incident is
placed as occurring during the siege of
Paris by the German forces. Won
Moitke used to soften the rigors of war
by occasionallf giving little dinner
party, and to one of tilese he had invit-
ed five gentlcmen. The covers were
laid for six, but one of the expected
was unable to appear and isent his re-
grets. Won Moitke, it is related, upon
receiving the note, hurried off in per-
son and fotiticd the presiding genius
of the place to send but five eclairs in
stead of six, as had been ordered. This
story of German economy is told with
gleat gusto and laughed at heartily in
the cafes and clubs. =

Scott in the Mexican war.

His victories have never received tho
credit justly due thcm on account Of
the apparent ease with which they were
gained. The student of military his
tory will rarely meet with accounts Of
battles in any age where actual opera
tions coincide SO exactly with the or
ders issued upon the exc of conflict as
in the official reports of the wonderful
ly energetic and successful campaign
in which General Scott with handful
of men renewed the memory of the con-
quest of Cortes, in his triumphal march
from Vera Cruz to the capital. The
plan of the battle of Cerro Gordo was
so fully carried out in action that the
official report is hardly more than tho
general orders translated from the
future tense to the past The story of
Chapultepec has the same element
of the marvellous in it. The general
commands apparent impossibilties IN
the closest detail on one day, and the
next day reports that they have been
accomplished. These successes were
not cheaply attained. The Mcxicans,
though deficient in science and in mili-
tary intelligence. fought with bravery
and sometimes with desperation. The
enormous percentage OF loss in his
army proves that Scott was engaged in
no light work. Lie of Lincoln. Ia Cez-

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers. as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
factures Especially is this the case with
Green August Fl0Der and B0schee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to in-
crease the size Of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the 75.cent size. The

Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale Of any medicines in the

A Fashion that PIeases Young Mem.

A thing that rejoices young men
more than the downfall of the theatre
hat is the progress of a fashion inaugu-
rated three years ago by Miss West,
eldest daughter of the British minister.
In society including so many young
men of slender means. Miss West
thought it unjustifiable for girls to ex
pect and accept costly boquets from
their partners in the german. To each
man asking her to dance a german with
him she frankly said: Il never carry
any flowers, SO you must not send me
boquet. ] can not accept it."
For three winters and now for a
fourth. Miss West has gone to balls
without hoquet. She is one of the
most beautiful young women here, pop
ular in all society, and reigning young
belle for the whole diplomatic corps,
and her popularity with the young at
taches, lieutenants and ensigns is I'm.
bounded. Her two younger sisters car
ried boquets on the nights of the balls
with which their father introduced
them to society, but never after their
debuts.
These three English girls, Miss Mat
tie Mitchell, and few others are now
conspicuous at all balls and germans by
not being numbered with one of the
huge. heavy boquets that other girls
carry. The big boquets in some cases
have been a great drain on the girls
pin money, as they all like to keep up
appearances and carry a bushel of flow
ers to outshine the rival with only one
modest armful of roses.
One ill-tempered young miss, who
was holding heavy bunch of carna-
tons, called to rival one night:
"Where'd you buy your flowers, Jen-
nie?" Shaking up bunch of roses as
large as wheat sheaf, the rival calmly
said: "At the same place where you
got yours. The man told me how you
tried to beat him down, and thought
80 cents dozen too much for carna-
tions. Cor. 50. Louis Globe Democrat.
